1 2 Latin American Report. Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. 1984. p.4. After five years as the PLO's official representative in Peru, Issam Besseiso, is leaving to assume a similar position in Sofia, Bulgaria. His replacement, Bassim Abd-El-Rajman, a member of Al-Fatah, was in Karachi until February, 1984 when he and three other PLO leaders were expelled by the Pakistani government for "activities against the State." An editorial printed in the Peruvian daily "Expreso" in April called upon the government to close down the PLO office which it labeled "an embassy for terrorism." "Expreso" sees Besseiso's move to Bulgaria, "the major sanctuary of international terrorism", as a career promotion. At a farewell party for Besseiso, Peruvian Congressman Miguel Angel Mufarech commended him on his efficient work in Peru which allowed the Peruvians to "learn of the fight against international Zionism." Lima's mayor Alfonso Barrentes Lingan, at that party, called for victory to the Palestinian people. [sic]
